CIPA member author Craig Kaley has released his first book in a new book series, Money Athletics: Your Game Plan to a Financially Fit Tween. The Moneyletics MAP Series is being developed as a progression of books and corresponding programs that offer a game plan to teach children real life money skills as they grow through the stages of childhood into adulthood.
The Moneyletics MAP Series includes the following:
• Money Amateurs Program – young children 5 to 10 (forthcoming release)
• Money Athletics Program – tweens 11 – 14 (just released!)
• Money All-Stars Program – teens 15– 18 (forthcoming release)
• Money All-Stars Plus – young adults 18+ (forthcoming release)
This approach allows parents to implement an age appropriate program for their son or daughter. Each book and program in the series builds upon the previous; however, regardless of when your son or daughter begins they will benefit.
CIPA award-winning author, Gina Meagher releases her second book, The Nitty-Gritty of Managing Diabetes: Personalizing Your Approach through Determination, Perseverance & Balance. Gina takes you on her journey to create a personalized approach to managing type 1 diabetes. It is more about options than rules. People living with diabetes or any chronic condition are often surprised at just how many options they have.
Realizing that you are not your condition is one of the many tips Gina offers in the book. She also discusses how your personality influences your management plan, the power of attitude, how to advocate for yourself and how to anticipate the triggers that bring you down. However, Gina believes her most important advice is on how to manage your condition to accommodate your life – and not to govern your life to accommodate your condition.

HILL’S GOLD, a historical fiction set in Colorado during the 1860s, was published December 8. The Colorado gold rush was over. Mining was in a shambles. The Civil War still raged and Indian uprisings on the Great Plains made travel dangerous. Nevertheless, Nathaniel P. Hill was captivated by the rough frontier and tempted by William Gilpin’s invitation to investigate his land for gold and silver. Against his better judgment, Hill left his family and job as a chemistry professor at Brown University to work for the Colorado Territory’s former governor. The result was nothing short of a revolutionary boost to the fledgling Colorado mining industry and the rerouting of his and his family’s fortunes.
